HP EliteBooks keep turning off WiFi on VPN connect

  • 772

HP EliteBooks (with Windows 10) keep turning off the WiFi when VPN connection is established, because the virtual network adapter is recognized as wired connection, causing both to fail.

This happens despite the LAN/WLAN switching being disabled in BIOS settings and Power Management for the adapter being turned off.

    HP has an additional, non-configurable service for LAN/WLAN switching. Unfortunately, it doesn't respect the BIOS & system settings. Disabling the HP LAN/WLAN/WWAN Switching UWP Service solves the problem.
